Abbey House, New Abbey

Abbey House in New Abbey is a former laird's house that dates mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries. This two-storey building features a long, plain north front with 12-pane sash windows arranged in irregular bays. The entrance has a panelled inner door set within an early 19th century doorcase. The exterior is harled with red ashlar margins and includes a sunk basement, with some roll-moulded openings on the east side.

A 19th century wing, which was originally a coach house, is constructed of white granite rubble and extends south from the east end of the house. There are lower, gabled outbuildings attached to both gables of the main house; the eastern outbuilding is incorporated into the garden wall, while the western one features a ball finial and is now used as a garage. A piended square inner stair turret is located to the south, and the main roof sweeps over a passage alongside. The building has corniced end and axial stacks and is roofed with graded slates.

Inside, the house contains some fine late 17th and early 18th century timber panelling, including raised and fielded panels, as well as Classical entablitures and pilasters.
